Recommended Biology Health Science Course Sequence | Biology Majors At GCC
BIOTECHNOLOGY AS DREGREE
The AS degree in Biotechnology provides a strong foundation for transfer to a college
(two- or four- year) to complete a BS in Biotechnology. It also prepares students
with the foundation in microbiology, molecular and cell biology laboratory skills
and soft skills that meet industry standards for employment in biotech industry (e.g.
life science technician and biological science technician) and in academic research
institutions. Students may petition to use IGETC for STEM majors in place of our local
GE requirements. To gain authentic, hands-on research experience, students are recommended
to take the BIOL 298 path and conduct the internship (BIOL 50) at a four-year college
prior to transfer. Students must complete all required core courses for a total of
25-30 units.
AS-T BIOLOGY
The AS-T in Biology provides a foundation in biology for students planning to transfer
into a baccalaureate program in biology. Successful completion of the transfer degree
guarantees the student acceptance to a California State University to pursue a baccalaureate
degree in biology or a related field. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of
this program, students will be able to describe and demonstrate correct use of biology
laboratory equipment, be well-prepared for upper division biology courses, and be
well-qualified as transfer students to a four-year university biology program. Required
Core: BIOL 101, 102; List A: CHEM 101, 102, MATH 103, PHYS 105 and 106 or PHYS 101
and 102; LIST B: BIOL 103 or MATH 136. Required Units for Major: 36-38 units*
HEALTH SCIENCE AA DEGREE
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, students will be able
to identify anatomical structures and describe the functions of important systems
in the human body; be accepted to a nursing program ; and be well-prepared for courses
in the nursing program or a 4-year university program of their choice. REQUIRED COURSES:
A minimum of 14 units in one of the following options and additional 6 elective units
is required. Option A: BIOL 115 or BIOL 122, 120; CHEM 110 or 120. Option B: BIOL
120, 121; CHEM 110 or 120. Electives (6 units): Choose one course from each category
Category 1—Speech: SPCH 100, 101, 103. Category 2—Social Science: ANTHR 102, PSYCH
101, SOC 101.
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCE AS DEGREE
The AS degree in Biological Sciences provides a strong foundation for transfer to
a 4 year university in order to complete a BS in Biology or related fields. It may
also provide appropriate training for employment in biological laboratories, museums,
and/or educational outreach. Students may petition to use IGETC for STEM majors in
place of our local GE requirements. Students must complete all required core courses
for a total of 39 units. Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program,
students will be able to describe and demonstrate correct use of laboratory equipment;
be well-prepared for upper-division biology courses; and be well-qualified as transfer
students to a 4 year university biology program. REQUIRED COURSES: BIOL 101, 102;
CHEM 101, 102, 105, 106; MATH 103, 104.
